[PATCH v1 2/8] clk: rockchip: drop use of rockchip_clk_protect_critical()

Elaine Zhang zhangqing at rock-chips.com
Mon Sep 18 00:31:45 PDT 2023


Rockchip common clocks to support GKI,
Avoid __clk_lookup() calls,so needed to replace the
rockchip_clk_protect_critical, and use the flag
CLK_IS_CRITICAL.(but use flag CLK_IS_CRITICAL,
the enable count is always "0")
